Decided it’s finally time for me to leave a review. I played at launch when it was bad and came back a few months ago. The game is so much better, highly addicting now. Pros - Fully voice acted main story quest with decent story (for an mmo). Won't lie the voice acting is bad lol, but I still prefer it to none. - Can que for groups for all instanced PVE/PVP content. - Combat is very fun/engaging (by far my favorite out of all mmos I've tried). - Dungeons, raids, and pvp is all very fun and engaging. - There is plenty of PVP and PVE content to keep most players busy for several months at least. - Leveling is much faster than most mmos, all you have to do is MSQ and you reach level cap. - The graphics and sound effects are really good, makes the game very immersive. - The crafting and gathering are one of the best in the genre imo. - You can do almost all content without BIS gear. - Even after all these years, no PTW BS or monthly subs. - Game runs smoothly most of the time. - Way less bugs and bots. - Healthy economy. - You can change your character appearance now, it does cost real money though. - So far all New updates have been free. That is actually pretty crazy. (updated my review because I orginally put that returning players have to pay for angry earth dlc and that's no longer the case) - Since making angry earth dlc free, they refunded everyone who bought it in the past month. Cons - BIS gearing is pretty stale, can only do one raid and chest runs to get it (this is being addressed next update) - Newer people don't really get to experience the fun/challenge of lower level dungeons unless you go out of your way to form your own party of newbs. The dungeon finder usually matches all the vets with noobs and they speed through the dungeons before you can even land a hit. - There is not as much content as other mmos that have been out longer, so people looking for 10k+ hours worth of content might want to wait. - PVP is gear based. - The performance on new pvp maps is usually bad till later updates fix it. - The preformence in populated towns is still bad. I usually drop from 90fps down to 40-50. - The game is gaining traction but still isn't as populated as the big mmos yet. Some regions may struggle to find others to play group content with. North american and European regions will have no issues, but outside of that do your research before buying. So what all is there to do? PVE: - 12 dungeons - Each dungeons has 3 "mutated dungeon" versions that are basically just harder versions. Basically 3 different difficulties for each dungeon. - One raid - 2 mini raids - Invasions (defending cities against increasingly difficult waves of enemies) - Several world bosses - Souls trials (instanced solo boss fights) - Crafting/Gathering - MSQ and side quests - Special events - Mini guitar hero (you can play songs with other people or alone, 5 different instruments with over 100 different music sheets to find or buy. You play the instruments like how you play guitar hero, hitting the right keys at the right time.) - mounts (you do mini timed races across the map to up your riding skill) Next update (coming out October 2025, so a couple weeks) is going to add "catacombs" which are procedural dungeons with increasing difficulties, for up to 3 players. This update will also add a new raid, new zone, and likely new dungeon. Devs have also said they will be adding difficulty levels to raids "soon". These are just some of the things they plan to add. the dev team had a leadership change this year and has been listening to the community much better. PVP: - Open world pvp - Wars for control of cities - Pvp zones with good loot to fight for - Outpost rush instanced pvp mode - Capture the flag mode - 3v3 dueling Arena mode - Dueling Devs have also "tested" barbones OPR a couple times, which basically removes gear from the equation and makes the mode purely skill based. Possible they could bring it back as it did get a lot of positive feedback. Devs have also stated they will be adding "pick up wars" soon which will allow companies to "war" with each other for fun, instead of just controlling cities. This will make wars far more accessible to average players. In conclusion, who would I recommend this game to? - People who want a casual friendly PVE action combat mmo experience should absolutely come check the game out. - Hardcore PVE players who are ok with the fact there’s not as much end game content as other MMOs yet. - People who are interested in the PvP and don’t mind having to grind 70ish hours through PVE first to get to level cap and get decent gear. Who I wouldn’t recommend to (yet): - People who are looking for a lot of super challenging end game. Game has a fair amount of challenging end game but not enough to give you 10000 hours like other MMOs out. - People who’s favorite part of an mmo is the BIS gear grind. Currently that grind is pretty stale but again keep an eye out, this is supposed to be fixed next update. - People who want to PvP right away and/or don’t like gear based PvP. Sadly PvP is still not very accessible for newer/casual people but again keep an eye out because barebones mode could change things. Devs seem they are open to the idea of making game modes that are skilled based. All in all is a great game now with EASILY over 300 hours of content, well worth the price imo, highly recommend to most people.

Played at launch and the experience was interesting until 60... after 60 little to do, they were not prepared as Illidan might say. Came back in 2025, started from level 1 again just to discover the game feels like a new MMO, refreshing, most of the things they should have had it at launch, it is implemented now, a bit sad, rarely people are coming back. Doesn't feel like an empty world (on steamcharts we can see ~10k active players), I was surprised to see so many people in cities and during the main quest line, feels alive, not empty. I hope they will manage to bring back at last 1/3 of the original player base.

The new gameplay and lore is much better than before, but locking the DLC from old players, that bought the game for 60€ is just BS! New players can just buy the new edition for the same price and they receive everything, yet the ones who have been around since the beggining were cut aside from the newest contents. And for what I read and seen, it's not even worth the extra 30€.. I'm just gonna upvote it because I like the game in itself, but I don't approve this kind of disregard for player community

Lot's of fun easy for us to roll dungeons. We enjoy the casual MMO not grindy like the Asian MMO’s be cool if the merged the servers to lift player count. Worth having in your collection and trying the 5 man dungeons I play it with my kids they love having Dad tank the boss.
